Why remove a tree stump?
An old tree stump can take up valuable garden space, make mowing difficult and get in the way of landscaping. Whether you’re tidying up after tree removal or dealing with a stump that’s been there for years, grinding can help you reclaim the area.
TreeWorks can grind your stump as part of a tree removal job or arrange the service separately.
Planning to replant or create a garden bed? Let us know before we start so we can discuss the depth of grinding and any additional root removal needed.

Treeworks has provided arborist services at my residence for over 10 years. Recently Treeworks assisted in securing Government approval for the removal of our old and very large brittle gum, which without warning had dropped a main limb across our, and our neighbours driveways, missing our son’s car by inches. Over three days the Treeworks team did a great job in taking the tree down and cleaning up afterwards, and I must say that we and our neighbours feel much safer for this.Posted on Google![]()

I had an excellent experience with TreeWorks! The office staff were super responsive and helpful. I wasn't around for the quote visit but my husband said it was all very simple and straightforward. The actual work of removing 5 large branches/limbs from a gum tree was completed by a team of 3. These guys were punctual, friendly and professional, and very hardworking/efficient. They deserve a big Christmas bonus this year! I am very happy to recommend TreeWorks and would definitely use them again in future.Posted on Google![]()

Hard a huge gum tree removed from my front garden. Everything went very smoothly, from the tree inspection to the tree cutting and stump grinding. Was very happy with all the work done and all the workmen so very professional. The site was left clean. The price was reasonable for such a big project. Happy to recommend this companyPosted on Google![]()

I asked online for an inspection and quote and "Ed" was here almost before I pressed "Send". He quickly assessed our issues, asked us what result we were after and advised us on what we needed to do. He shared what seemed to us to be a lot of knowledge and told us to take some small steps over a couple of years and then contact Treeworks again. We will. No quote. No charge. I must be dreaming. Thanks Ed!Posted on Google![]()

Arrived at 8 am to commence the job when it was still -3 degrees. The guys got on with the job without complaint and did not stop, except for a quick coffee break. Work and clean up was top class. Would highly recommend Treeworks!Posted on Google![]()

David and his team did an amazing job of pruning, reducing tree height and also removing trees in our garden, and at a very reasonable cost. His knowledge, expertise and care as an arborist is excellent.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified that these reviews were published on TreeWorks Canberra's Google Business Profile. Learn more

Planning to replant or landscape?
Let us know if you want to plant another tree, add shrubs or create a flower bed where the stump currently sits.
Stump grinding breaks down the stump, but it does not automatically remove the entire root system. Depending on your plans, additional grinding or root removal may be needed.
Discussing this beforehand helps us recommend the right approach and prepare the area for its next use.
What does stump grinding cost?
The minimum cost of stump grinding is $300 plus GST. Your quote will depend on:
- The size of the stump
- The number of stumps
- Access for the stump grinder
- The depth of grinding required
- Whether you want the grindings removed
Some stumps take longer to grind than others. Contact us for a quote based on your property and the work required.
